The Cross or Bunnies and Eggs?

[Jesus Is Real]

I Love you, because of Christ, God will just have to communicate this to you, please keep this in your heart while you read this post and reply. I AM ATTACKING ROTTEN TRADITIONS WHICH MAKES THE WORD OF GOD :naughty: OF NONE EFFECT:Rotten Traditions have crept into The Church. :study: THIS IS A MESSAGE TO "BACK-SLIDDEN CHRISTIANS" Jer 8:5 Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.KJVDeut: 31:16bc,...and this people will arise and play the harlot with thestrange gods of the land, into the midst of which they are going,and will forsake Me and break My covenant which I have made with them.Ezek 3:2020 Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which hehath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand. KJVWhich will it be christian?The Cross of Christ?Or Bunnies and Eggs, at this time of year?Which did you participate in last week? God or Idolatry?Shall we walk double minded, I will explain. God warns 'Christian believers' that if they are into willful idolatry they have no Eternal Life in them; they will not Inherit The Kingdom of God, The Spirit of Christ says in Paul also. Many christian's might call Easter (this pagan holiday) "fun", but I'm sure so did and does the pagans. For God gave Israel the Law to show them what Sin was. The pagans know not God's Law, so of course what they do is titled as 'fun' but Israel is taught by God what is Idolatry which is Sin. So in short, do you want Sin or The Cross?Jesus says things to Pharisess so that they might live and not be destroyed. For if we repent over sin and confess it as sin to Him God will cleanse us from all unrighteousness as we walk on with Him. Or shall we continue in sin that Grace might more abound?Who cares to join me in tearing down these idols which are now upon the heart-land of many back slidden Christians, in Love? I WAS ONE HUGE 'CHRISTIAN BACK-SLIDDER' ONE MYSELF - BUT GOD TOLD ME THE TRUTH THAT I MIGHT BE RESTORED BACK INTO THE FOLD!!! :shepard:​

Easter derives from Ishtar, for example. We've had many good discussions and studies on this topic from some of our members who know a little more about it than I do myself. You'll find a lot of agreement here.

Sharing Convictions:The LORD JESUS CHRIST, does not have me speak out against the ways of the nations Celebration's much, but more and more I am being led to speak out against the Paganism of what even Christian's call "Easter". It's whole actions and ways are not ordained for believers to engage themselves in. Truly the world have crept into the Church and when God sends anyone to speak out others in the Church desire to stop their mouths. ??? "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do." Which do you choose "bearing the reproach of The Cross of Christ" or the "Treaures of Eygpt?" No other gods: "Easter - Ishtar/Astarte"This small book, I have had since I went through Schooling for Deliverance. This is from my Deliverance Pastors book collection which he personally wrote by the leading of the Holy Spirit. I am convicted of what Steve Bell has to say about this pagan holiday of "Easter".

You were once pagan. What matters? What you are now or what you were then?

 

[Jesus Is Real]

What matters is God's Word still being spoken; Jesus Is Real and Lord. He is our Focus! Chldren keep yourselves from idols. My main Idol was, and still is - God knows, 'myself', my own self-centerned,of what and who I am when it's all about What God is still saying in the earsof His People - where Judgment comes first.

Rotten Traditions have crept into The Church.
Rotten? Then make sure you use fresh eggs.At my church, the Easter service is a celebration of Christ's resurrection. The eggs don't glorify any heathen god nor would I think it very Christian to promote eggs as a symbol of heathenism. Christians spent centuries Christianizing Europe. Far be it from me to throw that effort in the trash and be part of the cause of the decline of Christianity in the west by trying to resurrect heathen roots.If any child would ask, I'd tell them that the eggs symbolize new life or rebirth.

What do you think when God says to not even speak the names of other gods and you are bringing their practices into your church ?your church is worshipping the goddess of fertility whether you will acknowledge it or not. God will not be mocked...wait and see...

Easter is a day that is honered by nearly all of contemporary Christianity and is used to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The holiday often involves a church service at sunrise, a feast which includes an "Easter Ham", decorated eggs and stories about rabbits. Those who love truth learn to ask questions, and many questions must be asked regarding the holiday of Easter. Is it truly the day when Jesus arose from the dead? Where did all of the strange customs come from, which have nothing to do with the resurrection of our Saviour? The purpose of this tract is to help answer those questions, and to help those who seek truth to draw their own conclusions. The first thing we must understand is that professing Christians were not the only ones who celebrated a festival called "Easter." "Ishtar", which is pronounced "Easter" was a day that commemorated the resurrection of one of their gods that they called "Tammuz", who was believed to be the only begotten son of the moon-goddess and the sun-god. In those ancient times, there was a man named Nimrod, who was the grandson of one of Noah's son named Ham. Ham had a son named Cush who married a woman named Semiramis.Cush and Semiramis then had a son named him "Nimrod." After the death of his father, Nimrod married his own mother and became a powerful King. The Bible tells of of this man, Nimrod, in Genesis 10:8-10 as follows: "And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad,and Calneh, in the land of Shinar." Nimrod became a god-man to the people and Semiramis, his wife and mother, became the powerful Queen of ancient Babylon. Nimrod was eventually killed by an enemy, and his body was cut in pieces and sent to various parts of his kingdom. Semiramis had all of the parts gathered, except for one part that could not be found. That missing part was his reproductive organ. Semiramis claimed that Nimrod could not come back to life without it and told the people of Babylon that Nimrod had ascended to the sun and was now to be called "Baal", the sun god. Queen Semiramis also proclaimed that Baal would be present on earth in the form of a flame, whether candle or lamp, when used in worship. Semiramis was creating a mystery religion, and with the help of Satan, she set herself up as a goddess. Semiramis claimed that she was immaculately conceived. She taught that the moon was a goddess that went through a 28 day cycle and ovulated when full. She further claimed that she came down from the moon in a giant moon egg that fell into the Euphrates River. This was to have happened at the time of the first full moon after the spring equinox. Semiramis became known as "Ishtar" which is pronounced "Easter", and her moon egg became known as "Ishtar's" egg." Ishtar soon became pregnant and claimed that it was the rays of the sun-god Baal that caused her to conceive. The son that she brought forth was named Tammuz. Tammuz was noted to be especially fond of rabbits, and they became sacred in the ancient religion, because Tammuz was believed to be the son of the sun-god, Baal. Tammuz, like his supposed father, became a hunter. The day came when Tammuz was killed by a wild pig. Queen Ishtar told the people that Tammuz was now ascended to his father, Baal, and that the two of them would be with the worshippers in the sacred candle or lamp flame as Father, Son and Spirit. Ishtar, who was now worshipped as the "Mother of God and Queen of Heaven", continued to build her mystery religion. The queen told the worshippers that when Tammuz was killed by the wild pig, some of his blood fell on the stump of an evergreen tree, and the stump grew into a full new tree overnight. This made the evergreen tree sacred by the blood of Tammuz. She also proclaimed a forty day period of time of sorrow each year prior to the anniversary of the death of Tammuz. During this time, no meat was to be eaten. Worshippers were to meditate upon the sacred mysteries of Baal and Tammuz, and to make the sign of the "T" in front of their hearts as they worshipped. They also ate sacred cakes with the marking of a "T" or cross on the top. Every year, on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox, a celebration was made. It was Ishtar's Sunday and was celebrated with rabbits and eggs. Ishtar also proclaimed that because Tammuz was killed by a pig, that a pig must be eaten on that Sunday. By now, the readers of this tract should have made the connection that paganism has infiltrated the contemporary "Christian" churches, and further study indicates that this paganism came in by way of the Roman Catholic System. The truth is that Easter has nothing whatsoever to do with the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. We also know that Easter can be as much as three weeks away from the Passover, because the pagan holiday is always set as the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox. Some have wondered why the word "Easter" is in the the King James Bible. It is because Acts, chapter 12, tells us that it was the evil King Herod, who was planning to celebrate Easter, and not the Christians. The true Passover and pagan Easter sometimes coincide, but in some years, they are a great distance apart. So much more could be said, and we have much more information for you, if you are a seeker of the truth. We know that the Bible tells us in John 4:24, "God is a spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." The truth is that the forty days of Lent, eggs, rabbits,hot cross buns and the Easter ham have everything to do with the ancient pagan religion of Mystery Babylon.These are all antichrist activities! Satan is a master deceiver, and has filled the lives of well-meaning, professing Christians with idolatry. These things bring the wrath of God upon children of disobedience, who try to make pagan customs of Baal worship Christian. You must answer for your activities and for what you teach your children. These customs of Easter honor Baal, who is also Satan, and is still worshipped as the "Rising Sun" and his house is the "House of the Rising Sun." How many churches have "sunrise services" on Ishtar's day and face the rising sun in the East? How many will use colored eggs and rabbit stories, as they did in ancient Babylon. These things are no joke, any more than Judgement day is a joke. I pray to God that this tract will cause you to search for more truth. We will be glad to help you by providing more information and by praying for you. These are the last days, and it is time to repent, come out and be separate. No matter if you deny the truth for your trationtions you can not change facts and history

That's right God will not be mocked; meaning He is still a God or Wrath.
